He welded - He'd Hot Pen.

Said a commercial traveller: MY bust
ness calls me n good deal To Colorado and
New Mexico, and l have many acquaint-
ances and friends out there. One Of my
friends Is little fellow named McDer-
mott, editor Of n mining camp paper. He
is not much bigger than n pint Of cider,
but he has tremendous nerve He is as
quick rs lightning with his gun, and is not
afraid of the best man that walks. He
was telling me of one experience he had
few months ago. a big, tough fellow
walked into his sanctum one evening and
announced that he had come TO do up the
editor. He had six shooter in his hand
and advanced with it cooked. II happened
that my friend had just sent his revolver
out TO he repaired. and he was without 4
weapon. He tried to palaver with the
desperate and talk him out of his passion
in order to gain time Bnt the more he
talked the fiercer the caller became. Sus-
pecting that the editor was unarmed, he
took fiendish delight in holding his victim
covered with his revolver and telling him
that he had only sixty minutes To live
But my friends brain was working at q
lively rate all this time, and while he
talked he held his pen in the flame of the
gas jet over his desk.
Without the desperate suspecting what
he was up To, he succeeded in getting the
pen red hot-it took only few seconds
and then he made IA jump for his assail-
ant SO suddenly and with such catlike
quickness that before the rufiian, taken
of his guard by the supposition that the
editor was unarmed, could fire shot the
little man had thrown one arm around the
big fellows neck and was iabbing his red
hot pen into his face at the rate of 200
strokes to the minute. Imagine the
wounds that big, sharp, red hot pen must
have made, held securely in strong eel
lulOid holder, driven by the arm of man
fighting for life Think of the sufferings
the desperate must have endured in the
few brief seconds before his agony con-
quered his courage and caused him to
throw the revolver to the floor as a token
that he gave up the battle. That ruffian
he was drunk on that Occasion-is now
one Of the best friends the little editor
has, though his face is badly SCARED
from the wounds inflicted on him. Over
the desk of my friend hangs pen, still
covered with blood stains its whole
length, and over it is a placard, written
in the blood that was formed upon 1t just
after the battle: The pen is mightier
than the six shooter. Chicago Herald.

Some Of our high society got odd in
struction and amusement from May
Fortescue, the English actress and sen
timeatal plaintiff, just before her de-
partdre for home. She is beauty, be il
understood, and her cleanly law suit
against Lord Garmoyle has forced her
into fashionable consideration. She may
have failed, rs they assert, in her profess
sional tour Of America. but her positively
last appearance before an audience was a
triumph. Bernhardt is playing here.
She freakishly insists upon making the
tntermissions between acts half an hour
long. The people resent this trifling, and
Manager Abbey is seriously annoyed, be-
cause it hurts the business. Fortescue has
been under his direction, too. She told
him that she wished to see the great
frenchwoman act
I'm give You box" he said, "if you
will wear good clothes, look your prettiest,
aud sit at the front, so that the audience
Will have something TO divert them during
the long waits"
Its u bargain, replied Fortescue; IL
will agree TO entertain the people 'twixt
acts" She did, with vengeance. She
wore white fiutiily, and carried an i'm
mense fan of the same color. That made
her conspicuous, for it is not the custom
in New York to don such clothes for the
drama, though it is done elaborately at
the opera. She seated herself at the front
Of p lower proscenium box, facing the au-
dience, and proceeded 10 impersonate a
vivacious, ingenious maiden. 1t was as
hold an undertaking as anybody ever saw
in theatre; it was marvel of demon
strative pantomime; picturesque poses
and extravaGant gesticulation alternated;
n bevy Of fellows supported her tableaux;
and the amazed and amused spectators
found that the tedium Of the half hour
intervals was beguiled. But it would be a
pity if the Young girls present were TO
take pattern of Fortescue and behave in
that extraordinary fashion at the theatre.

With all the progress of physical cul-
ture in the last few years, much remains
to be done Professional and business
men still stick TO their Office chairs until
brain or liver or stomach go completely
wrong. The sallow faces and yellow eyes
seen in New York streets tell as depress-
ing story as the gross, pasty fat of men
who persist in their scdentary lives until
apopleXy takes hand. No man can do his
best work when he is in such an unclean,
miserable physical condition. His views
Of life become bilious, and his moral code
demoralized. 1t is as much sin to
neglect the body as TO neglect the mind

Bierman, revenue collector, has been
doing this place and MantOrville to-day
as a revenue inspector. He arrived here
this morning and made the acquaint-
ance of Ed Wilson, a merchant, who
took his word for his credentials and
piloted him around to the saloons, drug
stores, restaurants, hotels and other
places. Being introduced by one SO
well known no questions were asked,
and he had easy access to the whisky,
beer, cigars, etc. About noon he be-
came quite demOralized, and his insult
ing manner and talk aroused suspicion
that he was not what he represented
himself to be, and telegram to Col
lectOr Bierman brought the reply that
Garrity was not known to that office.
The prompt action taken to ascertain his
true character saved our citizens from
being swindled further than what
whisky and cigars he could use, which
seemed to be considerable. Garrity was
rather small man, about five feet five
inches high, dark complexion, peaked
face, weighed about 125 pounds and
wore light gray business suit, with
white straw hat. He travelled with a
horse and buggy, and as he learned in
Mantorville of Bierman's telegram, left
in the direction of Rochester as fast as
his horse could take him. He claimed
his father lived in Austin.

able manner. A paper on Radical
iSm," by Rev. FL. M. Simmons, was pre-
Sented, which called forth Outbursts of

was rendered vote of thanks. The fol-
lowing officers were elected: Rev. j.

ence was present. Two more churches

man church, of st. Paul, and Bethel

SENT THEM BACK.
Pauper Immigrants Refused Ad-
mission to New York.

H.
New YORK, June 9.-At meeting of
the emmigrant commissioners of this
city to-day the question of permitting
the landing of about ninety emigrantst
from Ireland who came here on the
steamer City of Chester, came up. The
emigrantS had been sent here by the.
British government, which had paid!
their passage. Their admission was OBJ
jected to on the ground that they were
paupers and likely to become public
charges. There was read at the meet
ing copy of letter sent to Secretary
Bayard by Minister West in April last.
In it the British minister asked whether
persons whose passages were paid partly
or wholly by the British government
would be permitted to land: Secretary.
Bayard in reply cited the laws in refer
ence to pauper emigrantS, and said that
III such cases as those mentioned by:
Minister West suspicion would be eSl
cited, and they would not be permitted
to land unless it was clearly shown that
they were not likely to become public
charges. The commissioners finally de-
cided to permit the landing of three
women and one man and their families.
numbering in all twenty-one. All the
others, who are now detained on Wards
island, were ordered to be taken back
by the lnman Steamer company. tits
believed the steamer company will con
test the case in the United States courts.
